[Verse]
F# E B F#
I got one hand on the bottle, and one foot in the grave
F# E B F#
It's been too long since I stepped, but I, I, I ain't got time to waste
F# E
Three long days, boy you'd better break
B F#
When that light shines on you
F# E B F#
Gonna want to stay forever and a day, but it's the night I belong to
[Pre-Chorus]
F# A B
Well the clock keeps ticking, and your time is running out
F# A B B B B
Well the clock keeps ticking, and your time is running, running, running, running
[Chorus]
C# E B B E C#
So, I'm gonna live my life like it's my last damn night
C# E B B E C#
'Cause when the clock strikes twelve, we're all gonna go to hell
C# E B B E C#
Said I'm gonna live my life like it's my last damn night
C# E F#
I'm gonna live my life like it's my last damn night
Intro Base line
[Verse]
F# E B F#
Well I'm five seconds closer to living six feet deep
F# E B F#
There's seven steps to heaven, but that stairway is just to steep
C#m E B F#
Oh, my my everybody dies, but you know that I don't want to
